Hand hygiene can be thought of as a “do – it- yourself” vaccine that is easy, effective and affordable, but the world still bears the burden of diseases that can be effectively prevented through good hand hygiene. The concept of handwashing is important in various medical, domestic and school settings. Awareness and motivation for handwashing can evolve into a revolution in making this world a healthier place to live in. Though there have been numerous studies on the effectiveness of...

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATOR IN SPACE FLIGHTS IS DISCUSSED. NOTING THAT EARLY SPACE FLIGHTS REQUIRED THE SERVICES PRIMARILY OF PILOTS, THE OBSERVATION IS MADE THAT THERE IS AN INCREASING TENDENCY TO SEND SCIENTIFIC SPECIALISTS INTO SPACE, AND THAT THIS TENDENCY IS BEING INCREASED STILL FURTHER BY THE USE OF ORBITING SPACE STATIONS, PRIMARILY DESIGNED FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH RATHER THAN DEVELOPMENT OF THE FLIGHT EQUIPMENT ITSELF.

MANUFACTURERS AND USERS OF MACHINES ARE HELD BY REGULATION AND LAW TO CONSIDER CERTAIN DEFINITE MAXIMUM VALUES FOR NOISE IN FACTORIES AND WORKSHOPS. ON MACHINES WITH CUTTING SPINDLES, THE SOUND INTENSITY RISES WITH THE FOURTH POWER OF SPINDLE SPEED. ADDITION OF TEN EQUALLY NOISY SOUND SOURCES INCREASES THE TOTAL SOUND LEVEL BY 10 DB. THE MAIN OBJECT IN NOISE ABATEMENT IS ELIMINATION OF THE NOISE SOURCE BY DESIGN CHANGES AT THE TOOL AND THE SURROUNDING TABLE AND PRESSURE LIPS. THE PROPAGATION OF...

THE BASIC FACTORS WHICH DEFINE THE SPECIFIC PROPERTIES OF MILLIMETER AND SUBMILLIMETER WAVEBAND GYROTRONS ARE A DECREASE IN THE RESONATOR OHMIC QUALITY FACTOR AND IN THE LIMITING CURRENTS OF ADIABATIC ELECTRON GUNS WITH A REDUCTION IN THE WAVELENGTH. IT FOLLOWS FROM THEORETICAL ESTIMATES AND EXPERIMENTS THAT THESE FACTORS DO NOT PREVENT THE ATTAINMENT OF HIGH EFFICIENCIES (ON THE ORDER OF 30 - 40%) IN FUNDAMENTAL CYCLOTRON RESONANCE GYROTRONS; HOWEVER, THEY SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THE EFFICIENCY OF...

The effects of microgravity on the metallurgical synthesis of compound materials were studied. Ground based and space flight experiments were performed to determine: (1) the feasibility of a metallurgical method of synthesizing compound materials with a predetermined distribution of constituents based on metals with significantly different specific gravities; (2) the mutual diffusion and formation of intermetallic phases as a result of interaction of a meltable matrix aluminum (Al) and hard,...

Intermetallic compound MoSi2 has long been known as a high temperature material that has excellent oxidation resistance and electrical/thermal conductivity. Also its low cost, high melting point (2023 C), relatively low density (6.2 g/cu cm versus 9 g/cu cm for current engine materials), and ease of machining, make it an attractive structural material. However, the use of MoSi2 has been hindered due to its poor toughness at low temperatures, poor creep resistance at high temperatures, and...

MODULAR FORMS CONSTRUCTED FROM H DIFFERENT GROUPS OF THE FORM OF HILBERT'S MODULAR GROUPS ARE INVESTIGATED USING THE DOMAIN OF THE IDEAL NUMBERS. THE DOMAIN IS DECOMPOSED INTO THE H ABSOLUTE NUMBER CLASSES, AND A SYSTEM OF MATRICES IS ASSIGNED TO EACH CLASS. EACH MATRIX IS THEN ASSIGNED A SYSTEM OF REPRESENTATIVES AND A SIMULTANEOUS SYSTEM OF LINEAR FRACTIONAL SUBSTITUTIONS. A METRIC IS INTRODUCED AND A FUNDAMENTAL DOMAIN IS DETERMINED FOR THE SUBSTITUTION GROUP. T-OPERATORS ARE DEFINED FOR THE...

Solar wind composition is dominated by hydrogen (approx.96%) and helium (approx.3 to 4%) with a minor fraction (less than or equal to 1%) of heavy ions. Hydrogen (helium) ions impact spacecraft surfaces with energies from 0.5 to 5 keV (1.8 to 21 keV) due to variations in solar wind velocity from 300 km/s to 1000 km/sec with extremes of a few 10 s keV during periods of extremely high solar wind velocity exceeding 1000 km/sec. Mean impact energies are typically on the order of approximately 1 keV... Topics: INFECTIOUS DISEASES, CULTURE TECHNIQUES, NEUROPHYSIOLOGY, DRUGS, PATHOGENS, BIOENGINEERING, CELLS...

Single crystals of insoluble substances were grown in zero-g by allowing two or more reactant solutions to diffuse toward each other through a region of pure solvent. Under zero-g conditions convection and sedimentation are eliminated and diffusion controls the crystal growth process. Excessive nucleation and contamination of the crystals are suppressed. Results indicate that crystals of improved quality and size were produced, but that more precise temperature control and longer growth times...

The Library of the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, London, contains many rare and beautiful books, some of them very fragile. One of them, Om Spedalskhed (On Leprosy), by D.C. Danielssen and C.W. Boeck, published in Bergen, Norway, in 1847, contains a series of superb coloured plates of the clinical pathology of leprosy as seen in patients in the leper hospital, Bergen. This video presents a selection of these plates to demonstrate the potential of videotape for making rare and...

An estimated 200 million people and many more domestic animals throughout the tropical and sub-tropical world suffer from the parasitic disease schistosomiasis (also known as bilharzia), while more than 400 million others are at risk of infection. With the aid of cinemicrography, electron micrographs and graphics, this video gives a highly detailed account of each stage in the life-cycle of 'Schistosoma mansoni', one of the five principal species of schistosome and shows how certain...
